I play M44 on line since 18 months and i played 958 games and won 575.
Since 8 months, i was Colonel.
- As Colonel, i played exactly 400 games (normal mode) and won 236. I won 10 times (or more) with each side on each front, and on 5 different maps (or more) of each front.
- As Colonel, i played more 200 battles in SFTF mode. I won vs humans on 40 different maps, axis or allies.

My boots are full of dust, as this was not an easy trip. Now I really need some rest...und ein Maß Bier, bitte

Thanks god, my old friend Hamon was really helpful to fight on my side in this campaign and both of us were obsessed enough to complete the last round with more than 140 battles within one month (cca 60 expert and 80 multi) against eachother.

I have no clue about the requirements.
One thing seems to be sure: 50/50 expert wins on each side.

I was promoted after 400 standard battles as Colonel, as I have overpassed the 100 Expert victories for several months. I think than these 2 criterias are mandatory.
No idea if some others criterias are necessary to be promoted.

With the entry of BG Artimon we now have 49 in the club. My guess was that there might be some electronic trigger that activates at 50 that opens the door for the next promotional spot. I could be absolutely wrong, but hey what else is new. So lets keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.

It's a pleasure to drink with you Sam. I will take a big glass of milk with rhum and bananas for me .
I'm agree with you than DOW have choose few difficult condition to track. But, there are also wins and number of battle conditions and we will could find them with a little of organisation. I read brigadiers's posts to determinate theses conditions and I obtain promotion exactly when I hope to have it. On my 400th battle on officials map.

For no reason, other than impatience at waiting for DOW to finally recognize the GENIUS and SHEER BEAUTY of M'44 and give it the support it deserves, I do humbly request that all patrons refrain from shouting "Duck!" whilst at the Bar. It makes me... nervous.

Quack.

Lucky Duck

I get that but when the barmaid is getting ready to throw stuff around again, "duck" seems to be the right phrase "Jeronimo" just doesn't get people to pull their head down.

Appears that I am now #55, unless someone hasn't been included since the last post...but, #55 or otherwise....a toast to all before me and to those to come after me!!

Once again, I got promoted and I haven't a clue as to how!! As I have always done, I just play and let things happen, for better or worse!! In this case, better!!

Here is the link to my battle and promotion, 09-27-13, LIBERATION OF PARIS against MisterFunny....and if you read this MisterFunny, my apologies for the rematch, computer glitch and cut out and by the time I made it back you were gone....continued luck on your own advancement to Lt. Colonel.

Just a little over a year to promote from FULL BIRD to BG, promoted to FULL BIRD on 09-18-2012, ARRACOURT, in between and if counted corrected, if not, roughly 647 battles, official and SFTF, can't tell you much more than that....though the day before each promotion, did play an SFTF scenario...think I won both and then promoted the next day after an OFFICIAL scenario, but....not much help I am sure!!

Thanks for keeping the doors open to the bar, drinks on me and all around!!

It's been one long hard slog, albeit highly enjoyable, playing some superb SFTF.

Don't ask me how I did it ... i pretty much just went with the flow of playing through all the available SFTF scenarios for each theatre, mostly against human opposition, mixed of course with the occasional official scenario to keep my ranking up, (although i have no idea if this applies in the condition).

Overall I'm satisfied to have reached this particular milestone before reaching my 1000th battle, as i dont play too often, and don't consider myself to be great player - It sure is nice to be in the company of many of the true greats though!
